So Beck, Lo, Dad and I are leaving in the early a.m. tomorrow for NYC.. will be back in time for New Years Eve festivities (unfortunately?).
Also, I packed and moved out of my Toronto abode today, and although we all knew it was super temporary and my living arrangement was a little less than normal, I am pretty sad. Cody and Zoe, you were fabulous roommates, and I will miss our evenings full of smoking bowls (me), take-out (you) and Parking Wars.
On another note, I know this is premature (but I don't think i'll be nearing the virtual world for the next few days), so here is the final lighting of our menorah candles. I hope you each had a great Chanukah! Next year in Jerusalem!! xo
I have eaten your entire box of Toaster Strudel since you've been away. Maybe it's because I miss you and they make me think of you? It doesn't help that their fucking delicious. I had two for "dinner" the other night EEEK. I promise I'll be replace them, but only if you come home soon! xoxo
I am so not excited for new years anymore (not that I super was before anyways)..I'm watching Forrest Gump, and the new years scene is so depressing. Lieutenant Dan is just so sad.
woah, Gary Sinise is a pretty big babe.
ALSO, the soundtrack is maybe one of the best ever.
On another note, tonight is the FIRST NIGHT OF CHANUKAH!
In the last week: GOOD THINGS: -bought Mariah Carey Christmas Album (even though it was originally meant for zoe's bday present) -saw a really great movie: Slumdog Millionaire (which further confirms my desire to have babies with an Indian man) -found a beautiful pair of brown lace-up boots from Penny Arcade (Rachel's newly opened vintage store that is entirely amazing) -Jack the Snack is home -Korean bbq with my fellow stock boyz -Jessica visits -attended my 8 year old niece's first piano recital (and she's actually good!) -sleepovers at Michelle's -guest bedroom at cody and zoe's new mtl abode -2 days til Chanukah -6 days til Christmas -8 days til NYC -Ami reunion+FUN FUN NIGHT TONIGHT!! -just made DELICIOUS KD. AND have leftovers for when I get home all drizzzed tonight
BAD THINGS: -failed my G2 -bailed pretty hard in the snow and have big bruise on my thigh -still need to acquire proper winter boots and jacket -skipped sneak preview of Bedtime Stories to see Slumdog Millionaire (even though it was amaze) -my roomates are in montreal and I really really want to be there. Also, I am lonely. -Having to buy presents when i'm broke as a joke -missing people -12 days left of being a Toronto resident -living another Quebec winter -going back to school -summer's so far away
At least the good outweighs the bad..
ps. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY PRINCESS ZOE (i will have a drink in your honour tonight)!!!!!
Mariah Carey and Christmas music, i suggest you watch/listen to THIS. I promise at least a little bit of your heart will feel warmer and body colder (due to chills).
I put it on for my dad this morning while I went upstairs to get ready and could hear him listen to it TWO more times. For real. BEST DAD/MAN/PERSON EVERRRRRR.
I also cut my finger grating potatoes so my dad can make his delicious latkes. MMMM I LOVE CHANUKAH. I've been growing out my nails so that I can get my nails did Chanukah-style. Pictures to follow fo sho. But for now, please enjoy this...
I'm a vodka snob and am only going to drink Ketel One. Actually. Last night I had the privilege of being Michelle's plus one for a vodka tasting party at Spoke and discovered my newfound fav poison goes down like water compared to shitty Absolut and even Greygoose! For real, you should try it.
Also, I ended up getting kind of drunk and the photographer took a bunch of obnoxious pictures of me with the ginormous sized Ketel One bottle (ie. holding it like a baby, making out with it, etc). I really hope they don't end up on the internet somewhere and turn up in 20 years when I decide to run for Prime Minister. Hmmm.
Hearing Ludacris say "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" on David Letterman tonight was totally heartwarming and I like him even more now. He drives a Hybrid Escalade!! BABE.
Southern Hospitality is one of the first rap songs I remember listening to (and contributes to my like for the genre)..it reminds me of eighth grade and hanging out in Jory's basement.
I couldn't upload the video because I suck at computers, but check it out here if you'd like a blast from the past.
I'm pretty excited for this place, although I will probably only ever pay for the Traditional poutine. All the others sound crazy and kinda gross, and i'm not very good at trying new things. I prefer guaranteed enjoyment. But who doesn't??
Listening to your ipod on shuffle is pretty great; the anticipation of seeing what song is comin next is so exciting!! Especially when Dreams (Biggie) comes on as you settle into the back window seat on the Lansdowne bus. I felt so gangster (for some reason?? Was there a scene similar to that in 8 Mile??).
Oh, and i've never ever really felt inclined to see a movie on opening night, but January 16th, you can find me lining up to get tickets for NOTORIOUS.
is biting me and zp (and cody?) in our sleep?? Zoe has a crazy bite rash on her shoulder, and i have one on my ankles!! I don't know what makes me want to barf more: centipede, spider, flea, or bed bug bites.
This movie is so fucked (but soo good)...i would really like to remember what I thought about it when I watched it some 15 years ago. And I love Winona Ryder,
Thanks to Cody J. Finney, there's always Dr. Pepp or Pepsi or Coke in the fridge, and what better quenches your morning thirst than a couple gulps of some cold bubbly sugary stuff?
